What to Expect

Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.

A bit fudgy and warm on the nose with fruits that are a bit stewy at first this takes a while to right itself. There is a candied suggestion of vanilla to the fruits, red cherry licorice, red currant even a touch of hot iron minerality poking up through the fruit. Still very youthful but finding itself. In the mouth this starts out rich if a touch soft with very ripe tannins and lots of savory leather, spice, tar and mineral notes up front. It's really gets very big on the backend with lots of emerging tannins in a very muscular style. There is compelling length here and when the mid-palate fills out read more...

WA 90 (8/1999): I enjoyed the outstanding 1995 Barolo Falletto. It possesses a medium dark ruby color with some lightening at the edge. The intense nose of cedar, spice box, soy, tar, rose petals, and black fruits is followed by a wine with a sweet attack, full body, and dense, layered, concentrated, spicy flavors. As this muscular, tannic wine sat in the glass, all spice and dried herbs became increasingly apparent. Cellar it for 4-5 years, and consume over the following 12 years.
